New BENCH protocol for Continental SID213 ECUs (Ford/Volkswagen)
KESS3 adds BENCH access for SID213 ECUs (pick‑ups/commercial vehicles) from 2026‑10‑28; aids diagnosis and programming without opening the unit.
Qué ocurre
Not a fault itself: provides BENCH access when the ECU is out of vehicle; enables read/write via the ECU connector without opening the unit.
Qué conviene comprobar
Confirm ECU type/label (SID213), production year and compatibility. Ensure ECU is removed and connector is accessible; consult KESS3 documentation.
El siguiente paso
Collect ECU label/part number and year, connector condition and DTC log; consider OBD checks and BENCH read/write if indicated.
